These are the departments in which
the yield was the largest during the past
year, but the falling off was greater in
some of those which produce the small
er quantities of wine, and it will be
noticed that there has been a consider
able increase in the departments of the
Herault, the Aude, the Pyrene IS Orient
ales, the Haute-Garonne. the Gers, the
Gard, and in most of the southern de-
partments, while in the districts where
Bargundy. Bordeaux and brandy are
made there is, almost without excep-
tion, a decrease. Bat in order fully to
realize the exten. of the mischief done
by the phylloxera and other pests dur
ing the last few years, the following
table will tell its own tale:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-02-06
THE WORLDS WINE.
The Vintages of Various
Countries.
WHAT THE PHuLoxERA DOES
Vineyard, Field. Exports and I'm.
ports for Several Years in
Detail.

The annual returns as to the French
vintage are, as was mentioned in a re.
cent telegram, very unsatisfactory.
the quantity Of wine made being less
than it has been, with the exception OF
the five years between 1852 and 1856,
| when the oidium did so much mischief,
since 1880. The vintage was a very bad
one in 1855. when the quantity of wine
fell short of the total for any of the pre-
vious thir y years, but the quality was
uniformly good, whereas the Commits
sioners Of Indirect Taxes. under whose
authority the official returns are pub
lished, report that iu 1856 ''tne quality
Of the wines is generally bad, their
alcoholic strength being much below par.
Wine-growers have endeavored to make
this geod by large addition of sugar.
and while the quantity employed in
1855 was only 603l tons, the total
quantity used in the first ten months of
1856 was q. .4lO TONS" This deficiency
in quantity and quality ia in part attrib-
uted TO the atmospheric disturbances
which occurred at the time of the
Towering of the vines ard the ripening
Of the grain. heavy storms Of rain and
hail, with severe frosts, having dsvas.
tated all the wine growing districts
north OF the Garonne. This being the
case, it is not surprising to find that the
total quantity of wine made In 1856 was
oaly 553. 923. .0c0 g .llons. as compared
with 642, ,o63, 600 gallons in 1855. 1872
$50, 600 gallons in 1884, aud 1. $50, 600,
O03 gallons in 1878. 1t is true that
1875 was q specially good year-the best
ever recorded-but even il the averages
of the past fifteen years are taken, the
alarming decrease in the quantity of
wine made will be very apparent. as
f.om 1872 to 1876. the average for the
FIVE years was l. .236, 553, 10 gallons;
from lS77 to 1851. So. .202, 425 gallons,
and from 1882 to 1856. 69S, 100. .S75 gal
Ions. In other words, the average is
about half what it was in the first of
these three periods The ply lloxera
and the mIldew have, however, done far
more damage than the weather. and it
is to their ravages that the decrease in
the quantity of wine made in the De-
partments Of the Correzs, Doubs. the
Indre, the Loire-et-Cher, the Hsute-
Loire, the Loire-Inferieure, the 1so-
zere, the Maine-et Loire. the Sirtbe.
the Tarn and the Haute-Vienne more
especially is due. Altogether, there has
been a decrease in forty-eight depart
ments. aud the following table W II
show how the twenty chief wine-srow-
ing departments have been affected
within the last three years, while the
figures of 1873 forrl an interesting con-

This is equivalent to saying that
whereas eleven years ego ths imports
were only LIS part of the exports. they
are now just four times as great; or, to
put it in another way, France. which in

of wine TO every one she imported, now

PREMATURE BURIAL.
What Medical journal Has to Say About
This Much Discussed Calamity.

What a Medical journal Has to Say About
This Much Discussed Calamity.
Much has been said and written con-
corning the danger of premature burial,
and the subject has even become to
some nervous persons the persistent
horror of their lives. That a few au-
thenticated cases have occurred in
which the still living body has been by
some strange oversight consigned to
the grave we are not disposed to deny.
1t is possible, however, that the number
of such cases has been exaggerated.
Too much has possibly been made of the
evidence of movement in corpses which
have been exhumed. A critic. writing
on this subject, throws the whole re-
sponsibility for live burials on our pro-
fessiOnal brethren. This is a sweeping
and certainly unfair judgment. He
accuses them solely on the ground
that in many cases they do not,
in order to certify death, proceed
to make an examination of the
supposed corpse, and suggests that
certificates of death might be fraudu-
lently obtained by unprincipled attend
ants on the sick as preparatory step
to murder. Now, this is one of those
arguments which, however they may
sound in theory, have little, if any,
practical meaning. Medical men, we
admit, do not always think it necessary
to view the body of deceased patient
before certifcation. In many instances
there is no need that they should do so.
They have been in regular attendance;
Nave ascertained the nature of the dis
ease; have gagged its probable issue,
and, finally, have seen the actual APP
proach of death, which, in few hours
time, has occurred, and of this they are
assured on the testimony of persons
whom they know to be well principled
and judicious. Surely they are entitled
in all the circumstances to accept the
statement as true Where there is doubt
either as to the signs apparent or the
character of informants, it is the duty
of every practitioner 90 inspect the body
of his patient, and any departure from
this rule must, we are sure, at all events
in this country, be very exceptional

Origin of the Word doodle"

The criminal prosecutions that have
been carried on of late against dishonest
members of the New York Board of AL
dermen in office at the time the Broad
way railway steal was accomplished,
has made the word ''bOodle" popular.
and given it permanent place in the
vocabulary of American slang. The
price paid to secure the adoption of the
scheme was styled DOODLE and those
who shared in its distribution as
reward for their votes were called
''boodlers." ST. Louis and Chicago
have had their doodle gangs" and
this class of worthless seem to be con-
stantly increasing, despite the punish
nlent that is being melted out to offend
ers by the law in New York and other
cities. The word "boodle" is from the
old Dutch word boedet. meaning prop
erty or goods. The term furnishes
striking instance of that deterioration
in words to which Archbishop French
called attention, bOedel, like pagan and
villain, having at first had no evil
meaning.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
